Chapter 123 The Mine Envoy Comes Knocking
After an incense stick had burned, Chu Chen withdrew his hand.
Mu Xueqin, on the other hand, felt drowsy and too relaxed.
Seeing that Chu Chen had stopped, he muttered, "Put more force into it, why did you stop?"
"Uh, heroine, I'm tired. This requires strength."
"Come on, you just don't want to mess with me. Fine, I'll be gentler with you next time."
Mu Xueqin looked up at Chu Chen and spoke, her tone much gentler.
"Okay, this is your first time. Next time, I have many more new tricks up my sleeve."
Chu Chen said that Mu Xueqin immediately became interested: "A new idea, tell me about it."
"Well, like adding some oil to your back, or a full-body spa."
"What? Tear a handkerchief? Tear a handkerchief?"
Mu Xueqin was completely confused and sat up to ask Chu Chen.
This little massage seemed to have opened the door to a new world for her.
When people are in a state of extreme comfort, even their thoughts become lazy and irrational.
At this moment, Mu Xueqin became very interested in Chu Chen's words.
This gave Chu Chen the idea of adding more projects to Red Romance.
Just as Mu Xueqin was about to get to the bottom of things...
Xiao Tao's voice rang out from outside the door: "Young Master, there is a gentleman outside who claims to be the manager of the jade mine."
Upon hearing the sound, Chu Chen immediately got up.
"What did you say? A jade mine? Quickly, bring them over here."
"Hey, you idiot, what am I going to do?" Mu Xueqin looked at the hurried Chu Chen and couldn't help but regain her usual boldness.
"I'll give you another massage tonight; there's good news here."
After finishing speaking, Chu Chen walked towards the main hall without looking back.
Mu Xueqin also got up and followed.
"This humble official, Qiu Ze, greets Young Master Chu."
A man in his forties saw Chu Chen and immediately stepped forward to bow.
Chu Chen laughed heartily: "Lord Qiu, you've had a long journey. What brings you here?"
"His Majesty has sent me to take Young Master Chu to take over the jade mine."
Qiu Ze was also taken aback when he saw the young man in front of him.
For someone so young to receive a jade mine as a gift from His Majesty—what merit must he have to deserve such treatment?
Chu Chen was secretly delighted; it seemed he wouldn't have to worry about the jade for the time being.
So he said to Qiu Ze, "Then I'll trouble Lord Qiu to lead the way. We'll go right now."
"Ah, Young Master Chu, this jade mine is a thousand miles away from Qingyun City. Shall we go now?"
After some investigation, Chu Chen learned that this jade mine was a gift from the royal family.
Located to the west of Qingyun City is a small border town called Yundian City.
This place borders the Kingdom of Gampo to the west, and the environment is harsh.
This place is rich in jade, but the Kingdom of Ganpu has been invading and harassing Cloud Peak City from time to time.
The main reason was for the food and beautiful women of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Hearing this, Chu Chen felt a deep sense of malice.
Zhou Shixun is using the guise of delivering jade mines to create problems for himself.
Is this a test for myself?
But the entire space needs jade. What should we do? Should we accept the offer or not?
If we accept the offer, we'll have to face the enemy head-on; if we don't, the prize we've already got will fly away.
However, Chu Chen immediately thought back to his original idea.
With so many weapons in his own space, his personal safety is not a problem.
Even in the Great Xia Dynasty, jade is a valuable commodity.
Should we take a gamble, go check it out first, and then decide whether to go or not?
But before going, we need to make arrangements for things in Mashan Village.
Currently, Mashan Village is still lacking a doctor and a physician.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Qiu Ze, "In that case, please stay in Qingyun City for a few days. I will take care of some matters here and then go with you."
“Very well then. I will find an inn in Qingyun City and await Young Master Chu’s summons.”
What a joke! How could we possibly put you in an inn when you come to Qingyun City?
So we called him over and headed towards Red Romance together.
"Uncle, you're back." As soon as Chu Chen entered the red-romantic room, Lan Pengyun, sporting dark circles under his eyes, came out to greet him.
Chu Chen looked at Lan Pengyun in surprise: "You don't stay here all the time, do you?"
"Uncle, what are you saying? I was just studying hard in my study last night and I'm feeling a bit tired."
I don't believe you for a second. Your father had seven wives, and you're probably not much different.
However, thinking about this, Chu Chen also became worried.
This guy dragged Lan Pengyun into doing business, and then ruined the young man's life. How is Lan Tianlei going to explain that to him?
So he quickly said, "I'm giving you a rule now: you can only come to Honglang Romance six times within a month. Otherwise, I'll give your share to your father."
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, please don't! My father isn't in good health and can't do this. Could it be ten times?"
"Get lost, it's settled then. This is Lord Qiu from the capital, treat him well."
After saying that, he gave Lan Pengyun a fierce wink.
Upon seeing this, Lan Pengyun immediately said to Qiu Ze, "Oh, Lord Qiu, I've been staying by your side at all times in Honglangmang these past few days."
Lan Pengyun thought to himself: It's fine if you don't come to me, but I usually entertain guests, so I'm not doing anything wrong, am I?
Qiu Ze looked at the enchanting decorations inside the Red Romance store.
Looking at the young man's listless appearance, I immediately realized where I was.
This young master Chu is indeed a kindred spirit.
So he said to Chu Chen, "Young Master Chu, you're too kind. And who is this gentleman?"
"Oh, Lord Qiu, I was so excited just now that I forgot to introduce you. This is the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion of Qingyun City, Lan Pengyun."
"I have met Young Master Lan. I also have some acquaintance with your father. I will definitely pay him a visit tomorrow."
Holy crap, this is Lan Tianlei's friend. Handing him over to Lan Pengyun will definitely satisfy him.
Chu Chen then saw the two of them eagerly trying to go inside.
I said goodbye and left immediately; this place is bad for my health.
Back in the courtyard, I greeted Xiao Tao and then headed towards Mashan Village.
As soon as she climbed into the car, Mu Xueqin sat in the passenger seat.
"What are you doing?"
"Where are you going, you idiot?"
"I doubt Chen Qingxuan will welcome you back to Mashan Village."
"He wouldn't dare. You have to give me a massage tonight, we'll ignore him."
Okay, since you want to go back, then go back.
Who has the time for an evening massage?
Li Qinglian is still waiting for him.
And Roy, I'm too busy to be in two places at once, so I'll give you a massage.
The car drove towards Mashan Village, and after a bumpy ride, it finally arrived at the cement road.
Seeing Mu Xueqin being jostled up and down like that, it was truly hard on her.
However, as soon as the car entered the village, Chen Qingxuan on the rooftop immediately stood up.
For a ninth-rank master, such eyesight is astonishing.
"Holy crap, she's here."
Chen Qingxuan quickly picked up his binoculars and confirmed that Mu Xueqin was sitting in the passenger seat.
In a flash, he headed towards his second uncle's villa.
"Let's go, Tiger, hurry... drive into the city."
